In reply to transference? i think so...., posted by youngaddict on December 30, 2006, at 23:12:38
I want that about my therapist too. He is so kind and gentle, and I wish he were my father AND mother, all in one. He alone would be better than either one of them alone or both combined. I'm sorry I don't have any advice, other than to hang in there, and to talk about it with her. Maybe not the Googling, although I know many here have talked with their T's about that, but maybe just start with the wish you expressed in the last part of your post. It is really really normal, and my T was so happy when I was able to tell him (he kind of already suspected, but I could tell he was really really touched). It's a huge compliment to them that someone can like them so much, and even if it is transference, it can help to get it in the open and talk about it (maybe ESPECIALLY if it's transference). So try to bring it up. If your T is good, you'll have good results. Good luck!
